ACCT 313 Starbucks also offers stored value cards to customers

 

Starbucks also offers “stored value cards” to customers that can be activated at most Starbucks locations and at other third party locations, such as grocery stores. The “stored value cards” act like gift cards. Sometimes customers do not end up redeeming the “stored value cards” (e.g., because they lose them).

b) What journal entry did Starbucks make in fiscal 2017 to account for unredeemed stored value cards
